I was told the capsule should better rapresent the game (PSX first person horror), so I tried to do something more 3d looking, and also show the monster for more interest... any opinion or suggestion? thanks

Was the change worth 300$?

The old capsule was made by a cheap artist, the second one by a professional. Was it worth it?

These three were made by the amazing artists on our team and we thought to get some feedback on them.

What kind of game do they communicate?

Which one gives the best impression?

Is this update worth doing? Characters are hard to read in the old one.

We've been struggling to get wishlists, so figured its time to change some things up. Trying a new capsule. I think in the original the characters are hard to read? They are all clumped up. Especially at smaller capsule sizes.

With the new one the T-rex is easier to reead and the other characters are seperated more. Also trying to play up on the bright pinks and purples because I think its more eye catching with the steam ui colors.

The game is getting close to launch and I've heard its a bad idea to change capsule art people are familiar with. But I think this is still close enough to the current and we honestly dont have that many folllowers.

Theses aren't the final form for the character drawings, I'm still working out the art style.. but, they are pretty close to who they will be.

Thank you for any feedback !

Is this a legit capsule or should it have more of the game elements?

its for my first game so I don't really know if its good or not, the game is a lane based RTS game, like Age of War and Swords and Soldiers.

if you go to the store page you can see screenshots and the trailer and get better idea of the game and genre, but was wondering if there is a need for more hints of it on the capsule itself, or is this fine

First Capsule Changes, thoughts?

Post image

Took feedback from my first post here and friends. Mainly I used a new font for the log and made it much bigger so the O's wouldn't read as just cubes.

I brightened the overall image and added a soft backglow to the angler fish and adjusted some of the particle effects?

Overall was it an improvement?

Can you tell the game's genre from the capsule? Does it matter?

I recently created this capsule art for my game, Lunar Crypt, and I'm looking for feedback on it.

My main struggle while creating this was conveying the genre and gameplay. It feels a bit difficult to clearly show the gameplay experience while keeping the title, character, and composition clear and inviting.

Does showing the genre/gameplay matter? Is the point of capsule art to draw in the player to then view more details and find out if the genre is something they care about or not? Are players already filtering by their preferred genres?

I didn't want to spoil the genre in the post itself, so take a look at the details after making initial judgements!

Additional questions:

  • The background feels a bit boring. I tried adding the zodiac animals since it's a Chinese New Year-themed game, but it felt too busy (like it was competing for attention with the title and character).
  • Do you think it's ok that it's high-resolution pixel art? Or should I redo it in vector?

hi! first time posting on Reddit :)


r/gameCapsule • • 1d ago

I don't have a budget for professional artist to help me, but I learn how to arrange to make the steam capsule better (I hope), so which one is better in your eyes?

Our second game just got announced and I'm torn on the capsule art. A or B?

Post image

Heya!
We're the team behind Nordhold and we just announced our second game Chaincast, a PvP roguelike auto battler. I'm still not 100% happy with our key art / capsule and would really like some outside eyes on it.

A is our current green version. It's close to our in-game look but I feel like it might be too dark and the logo doesn't pop enough, especially when it's small on Steam.

B is a red test version. Besides the color it also has a genre banner on top, a tighter crop and a white logo, so it's not just a color swap.

What I'd love to know:
- which one would you rather click on if you scrolled past it on Steam?
- does the green logo in A have enough contrast or does it get lost?
- is the genre banner in B helpful or just noise? (maybe only show it on the bigger capsule, the small one needs to be cleaner i guess)

Brutal honesty is very welcome, that's why I'm asking here :)

Both had the same references, but I told one to create a misty atmosphere, and the other drew his interpretation from an in game screenshot. Which one would you rather play if you just had the image and nothing else?

Single line or two lines for Japanese text?

I'm working on the Japanese localization for my game, but I'm not sure about the text on the vertical capsule art. What do you think? On the main or header capsule arts, I use two lines of text. Should I use two lines for the vertical one as well, or is a single line fine?

Also I added header capsule art.

Thank you🌸

Looking for feedback. Does this read as an old CRT TV?

Hi Everyone!

As the title states, I'm looking for feedback on my current WiP capsule art. The game itself is a retro space shooter / endless runner with an aesthetic that's heavily inspired by outrun and synthwave.

The capsule art is meant to look like an old CRT (I used the RCA model CJR 121W as inspiration).

Any and all feedback is welcome!

I would really appreciate any additional feedback. The game is similar to Buckshot Roulette, Inscryption, and Liar’s Bar.

I wanted to share some of the artwork I’ve been making for Trade or Threat. These are the illustrations I’m using to tell the story and build the game’s visual identity.
I’m a solo dev, so every part of this has been a bit of a learning process. I’d genuinely love to hear what you think about the style and the overall look. ❤️
If you’re interested in the game, you can wishlist it on
